Making a three point turn
Watch for bystanders and never allow anyone to be under or
n
to reach into the grader and its attachments while operating.
Understand and obey the traffic laws, road signs and signals.
n
When turning on a narrow road or highway, use your own
n
judgement for the amount of area the grader requires to turn
around.
Maneuver 1
Fully raise the moldboard and attachments before you turn the
n
grader around.
Lean the wheels slightly in the direction you are turning.
n
Travel as far forward as possible.
n
Maneuver 2:
Lean and turn the front wheels in the opposite direction.
n
Select reverse gear and back up the grader as far as possible.
n

If using the articulation function to help turn the grader, refer to the
previous page. Ensure the articulation lock pins are removed be-
fore articulating, and install them when not using the articulation
function. Position the moldboard so it will not contact the tires
when articulating as severe damage can occur.
